Why is my bearded dragon doing this?

[KarrieRee]

Do you have any suggestions or brands of layboxes and soil?

No suggestions for brand just make sure its free of anything added -- laybox you can use like a plastic tote

Should I take her to a reptile vet to get a check up and to see if she is healthy?

It looks like she's gravid w/ her behavior - see what she does w/ the dig box - is she eating?

She doesn’t really touch her salad and only eats around 3 super worms

She should be eating more than that-- is this a everyday meal? What else are you feeding? Supers are more for treats - are you feeding a staple like dubias crickets BSFL or silk worms? Lets go over your basking temps and how are you taking them? NO stick ons they are inaccurate you want a digital probe thermometer and those should be 95-100 for a surface basking temp -- UVB NO coils please - you want a long tube fixture like a Zoo Med or a Arcadia Pro T 5 and placement and distance will be determined by your screen on the tank

Where is the T 5? Top of screen or inside? And your screen is it a wide hole type- or a fine mesh like a screen door?

Ok distance should be 12-15 inches directly above the basking decor - I haven't heard any feedback on those tanks yet

The t5 is 13 inches above basking decor, I only have room for a 90 gal tank

But I talked with the previous owner of my BEARDIE and she said that she gave her a lay box, she never layed any eggs and she could not feel or see the eggs, and neither can I

So I think the digging is just instinct because I can not see or feel the eggs inside of her, I talked to her previous owners and they said that she does dig but had no eggs
